The number of models is not limited to the Big Bang. There are others that seem to explain a bit more than the BB.

When our first background radiation satellite went up, it appeared that the background radiation was uniform in all directions. As our sensors become more .um...sensitive, we begin to see a more detailed picture of the background radiation and the theories will change or be scrapped to accomodate the more detailed information.

The more recent measurements have shown that the galaxies appeared much earlier than the initial BB theory would dictate and other models have been proposed to explain the “graininess” of the early universal expansion.

The assymetry spoken of in this article will also lead to other models being proposed.

If not A then only B is not a model for science, but a philosphical statement.

Why should we? You don't listen to reason. You ignore the vast body of evidence against your position. You don't grasp the concept of the need to do word studies in the Bible. And you call anyone who disagrees with you an advocate of "atheist science" and accuse them of "worshipping at the Temple of Darwin Cult.

You have no idea of the damage that you do to Christianity.

From Augustine:

Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men. If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods and on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of Holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books. For then, to defend their utterly foolish and obviously untrue statements, they will try to call upon Holy Scripture for proof and even recite from memory many passages which they think support their position, although they understand neither what they say nor the things about which they make assertion.

Augustine is describing the young-earth creationists, but you don't even understand that you -- not scientists -- are the ones hurting the cause of Christ and preventing others from believing.
